Hopkins most recently appeared in the movies One Life, Freud's Last Session, Netflix's Rebel Moon films, Mary and the series Those About to Die in the last two years.
When Hopkins last caught up with PEOPLE in January, he revealed he was writing his autobiography, while his wife Stella, 67, is separately making a documentary about his life.
“I realized how I'm blessed with one thing. Maybe it's my actor’s brain. I do have quite a memory,” he said at the time. “I remember days of months in the years."
Stella, Hopkins' wife of 20 years, has "carte blanche to [cover] everything" in her documentary. He said at the time he was not sure when the movie would release. “I don't know. I don't ask her. It's quite a lot of film. I don't know when it's going to come out."
